Students will learn to use music as a primary source for learning about historical events.  Students will also learn about the events that sparked the third wave feminist movement and how the music created at the time reflected the values of the movement's supporters.

I have been a NYC public school teacher for 7 years and have taught at both the middle school and high school levels.  I have a BA in History from Pennsylvania State University and a MA in Social Studies Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, as well as a New York State professional teaching certification.  I've completed the Level 3 certification from the Center For Racial Justice in Education and have led professional developments on discussing race in the classroom through the New York City Mastery Collaborative.  I have a strong passion for music and have taught multiple music history classes, including History of the Blues, Rock n' Roll & Teenage Rebellion, and Hip-Hop History.
